Myra Canyon Directions:

  1. Starting from downtown Kelowna make your way to KLO Road and turn left.
  2. Follow KLO Road to the “Y” junction of KLO Road and McCulloch Road. There is a pub and a grocery store there.
  3. Take McCulloch Road and follow the direction signs pointing to Gallagher’s Canyon golf course.
  4. DO NOT turn in to June springs but continue past the golf course and you will find the road narrows as it winds its way down to a bridge crossing KLO Creek. Keep going until you see a high voltage power line crossing the road.
  5. The next exit on the right is Myra Forest Service Road. There is a panel sign with MYRA CANYON BICYCLE RENTAL on the beginning of the forest Road. http://www.myracanyonrental.com/
  6. Follow this gravel road for 8 km until you come to a cattle guard.
    Turn right immediately past the cattle guard and you are in the Myra Station parking lot with easy access to the trail leading into the Canyon.

Fitness level.
The trail is almost flat and children from 5 are riding the trail as well as older people I have had an 85 year old on my tour.
